[Arceus the Dragon]

I like reading my Harry Potter books. They are mostly what I read.

 

[al_the_bard]

I enjoyed the books based on the Monk TV show. I also love R.A. Salvatore's Drizzt series and the Dragonlance novels. Agatha Christie is also great.

 

[danh19]

I'm pretty indecisive but for me, it has to be

Four Blind Mice
Judge and Jury
When the Wind Blows
Harry Potter and the half blood prince
Harry Potter and the deathly hallows

 

[Like_Fahrenheit]

Basically anything written by Tolkien. Out of those, I would say The Children of Húrin.

In middle school I read the entire Jedi Apprentice series by Jude Watson, and those were really entertaining. I still have them.

 

[Ｄｉｓ]

I'd also add Frankenstein, Dracula, and Wuthering Heights, the atmosphere of those is just perfect to me

 

[SwordMaster♪]

I'd put the entire Discworld series here but since I haven't read them all that would be cheating, so I'll settle for The Last Continent and Thief of Time.
I'll also add Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire there, and Brisingr of the Inheritance Cycle.

 

[Beth Pavell]

Thief of Time

SQUEAK

 

[Fennel]

My "I'm an adult" answer: Jane Eyre
My real answer: The Harry Potter series

[canisaries]

i don't read like... at all, but we've had mandatory books, and of those hands down the greatest was tuntematon sotilas by väinö linna. having read it, i really understand why it's a classic. had me laughing and crying and made me think about the horrors of war and what being a soldier is really about. definitely restored my faith in literacy after having read the atrocity that was kafka's the trial.

 

[~Smugleaf~]

Lord of the Flies and the Owls of Ga'Hoole series. That's it really. I don't read much...

My favourite Books are-
The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

I haven't read much in a long time, probably since freshman year. My best memories reading are from way back in elementary and middle school, but I'm totally listing them because they're great!

- I loved all of the Harry Potter series.
- I read all except the last of the Artemis Fowl series (up to Atlantis Complex, pretty sure there's one more, anyway)
- A Series Of Unfortunate Events was magnificent.
- Eragon was great, but I couldn't get through the second book (Eldest?)
- Diary of A Wimpy Kid (they totally count). I think I only read the first two.
- I actually enjoy(ed) Twilight a lot. I read the first two but couldn't get through the third one.
- Pokémon Adventures manga, but I only got to read up to the beginning of Gold and Silver
- I read the first few Yugioh manga, too (before the cards were relevant)!
- Goosebumps!
- Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and the next two sequels I think?
- Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
- Charlotte's Web
- The Outsiders
- Diary of a Part Time Indian

Last month, I finally managed to pick up another book and I read Dragons of a Fallen Star, a fantasy novel from the Dragonlance series (War of Souls). It has me wanting more, but I'm going to wait until the fall semester to make consistent time to read the next two books!

I seem oddly picky about what books I like, but I feel like it's because I don't remember them all.
